Let's photoshop everything
The answer to everything is: try Google
Wants lots and lots of data
The center of everything
Before one can transform bacteria, one must first transform himself

Mentors and Advisors
From the very beginning of our project, Johan has always been ready and willing to help us when problems arise. He provided us with work space in the lab and is always ready to share his scientific expertise.
We couldn’t imagine a better supervisor! Be it a scientific question or a silly doubt, an advice or some administration, a hot cup of coffee or just handy tips, she will always know what to do.
Oscar is our knock-out specialist. He helped us with the P1 phage transduction and showed how to confirm our double knock-out. We can always ask him questions during our experiments.
Yves is always willing to provide us with his crystal violet and electrocompetent cells. Above all he is interested in our project and likes to share advice.
Iris is always their to help us ordering products, searching for sponsors and giving safety advice. She will give us handy hints wrapped up in funny stories.
Boris is our kind and friendly helper. If we have a problem during experiments, we can always ask him advice.
Veerle helped us to choose the right topic. She also guided the previous KU Leuven iGEM team and is happy to pass on her experience by giving practical advice on how to prepare for the Giant Jamboree.
We would like to extend our gratitude to our advisors who have been very helpful during various stages of our project. We thank the ex-iGEMmers, the pHD students, professors and laboratory assistants, who participated in our pizza meetings and opening event, for giving their opinion. A special thank to our friends and significant others for their support and help during the opening event.
Our busy bee
We would like to extend our gratitude to our mentors, Katarzyna Malczewska (Kasia- as we fondly call her) and Prof. Johan Robben. From the very base of having a place to work to solving complex issues, Prof. Johan has always been there with us sharing his scientific expertise or directing us to the right person who can help us find the solutions. We could have never imagined someone who can be better than Kasia to be our supervisor. Be it a scientific question or a silly doubt, advice or administration, hot cup of coffee or handy tips, to the sea or to the store or a funny story, she is always ready for all our endeavours. We would fail in our duty if we forget to mention our advisors who have helped during various stages of our project, with special mentions to Oscar Torres, for helping with the gene knock outs, Veerle De Wever, for sharing all her past experiences and all the ex-iGEM’mers, for attending our pizza meetings and giving their valuable opinions.
